This explains why I like to dress casual, but not boring. After my personality quiz and measurements, Ally categorized me as Natural Dramatic (I was really close with Snappy Casual! Haha). House of Colour uses six style categories-Dramatic, Classic, Natural, Gamine, Ingenue and Romantic-which can be combined to make 23 types. If your body is more round, you will look better in more feminine, curvy, draped clothing. Ally gave the example that you wouldn’t put a circular tablecloth on a rectangular table, and that really clicked for me. My body is rectangular, which is why I love jumpsuits and overalls. Your body has its own natural style based on your length and shape. Neither is wrong, but you have the power! How do you want to be perceived? A structured blazer and lipstick gives off a totally different vibe than a hoodie and a ponytail. You have control over how people view you. Most Americans wear 15% of their wardrobe 85% of the time.

It was a full day all about clothes, which is my idea of fun! TakeawaysĪmericans spend $200 million every year on clothes we don’t wear. She’s an expert and I soak up her knowledge any chance I get. I’m so glad I had Ally to walk me through it all. I love expressing myself through clothes but have definitely been feeling a little lost lately. We were asked to bring 5-10 items from our closet that we loved and 5-10 items that we don’t love. A House of Colour style day includes a lot of learning, a personality quiz, measurements (mostly vertical) and a show-and-tell time.
